Foobar 2.1.2 release fails to read DTS-CD's properly.

When I installed Foobar 2.1.2 release to read and play several of my DTS-CD's, I found out that only the first track of such a CD is decoded by the ffmpeg decoder build in this release. Playing another track brings up the noise that you get when playing a DTS-CD in an ordinary CD-player. It seems that foobar2.1.2 does not apply the DTS decoder automatically on all the tracks of a DTS-CD.

You can force Foobar to play a track with noise using the DTS decoder by going into the preferences menu and change the processing of the ReplayGain into something else and click on apply. Then the track currently playing "noise" will be decoded by DTS. So foobar can recognize that the track is actually a DTS-track. Please apply this automatically as you would expect.

Can you change this behaviour to apply DTS-decoding automatically on tracks other then being track 1 only.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tip. I tried on all versions and your suggestion about ReplayGain works, however only when the track is already playing and on just that track. Did you or anyone else find a way to make it play entire playlists in DTS instead of having to change that setting track-by-Track only during its playback?

I at least cannot replicate any DTS CD decoding problems. All tracks get decoded no matter if you play them manually or allow playback to naturally advance. This was with current foobar2000 version but I also tested with the old version 2.1.2.

The ReplayGain setting dance you do is effectively same as restarting a track and seeking to the position you are at.

Do you mean playback of actual CDs, or CDs ripped to computer and possibly compressed with some lossless codec? I have generally done all my DTS decoder testing using the latter with various formats, but for this occasion I even tested with actual physical CD.

Can you replicate your problem with a clean portable install?
